ACDC - Powerage. The entire album is just one stack of memorable rock riffs after another. "Downpayment blues", "Gone Shooting", "Whats Next To The Moon" are good examples.

Definitely one of those albums that come to mind when I think of "favorite heavy rock riffs" -

Between Sabbath and AC/DC, I could come up with a hundred riffs alone I think are great. Forget about even getting to any other bands right away.

You really need to listen to more Metallica. It's not a bad riff but it doesn't have shit on most of the riffs from their first four albums. It's not even the best riff on the black album.

Dude, I've listen to almost everything Metallica has done, I'm a huge fan, so it's not like I'm not familiar with anything off their first four albums.I can only write so many riffs down, trust me Battery, Blackened, Creeping Death, and whole crap load more from their first four albums are incredible riffs, it's just that Enter Sandman and Master Of Puppets were the first two that popped into my head.
